Well.... Let me tell you what I see. I’ll give you the steel, cable and heavy equipment operators. From an interstate view, this is a boom. From a local view, when the wells are drilled and the pipe laid and the compressor stations are running, you just need the maintenance crews. Everything else moves. Now that the infrastructure to is in place that gas is flowing. But, so are the jobs. To the next drill site.
That is why I said, the jobs are not permeate. I should have added locally.
Compressor stations, gas treatment plants, ethane crackers, expanded and cheaper local natural gas supply...
There is far more to becoming an area of production than just the drilling. The drilling drives an initial boom, but more jobs will remain than existed before. And some drilling “booms” will last for many years.
Do you mean “permanent?”
